"On Horsemanship" by Xenophon is a treatise on equestrian techniques and principles, authored by the ancient Greek philosopher and soldier in the 4th century BC. This instructional guide, rooted in classical antiquity, delves into the art of horse training and riding, focusing on how to select, break, and maintain horses for various purposes, particularly for cavalry. In the content of the book, Xenophon outlines practical advice for prospective horse buyers, emphasizing the physical characteristics of healthy horses, how to train them effectively, and the importance of creating a mutual bond between horse and rider. He covers a range of topics including the anatomy of the horse, grooming routines, riding techniques, and aspects of horse management, while also providing insights into military preparation and the types of equipment necessary for a cavalryman. The text is rich with observations and wisdom drawn from Xenophon’s own experiences, making it not just a manual for horsemanship but also a reflection on the relationship between humans and their equine partners.
